Excerpt from An English Girl in ParisMy old uncle Jack Mortimer lives in Paris in a charming little appartement in the Avenue Friedland, where he has been installed ever since his wife died, some ten years ago. She taught him to love Paris, and now he could not live anywhere else if he tried. Yet he remains, in spite of this, entirely British, with all his insular prejudices and even his English accent intact, though from long and intimate int...

Excerpt from No Surrender Once upon a time God made a fair green valley in the North Country. The surrounding hills were wooded with noble trees, the green pastures were watered by fresh clear streams. Overhead the blue arch of heaven was swept by sweet, clean, pine-scented winds. The people of this country were thrifty and industrious, spinning and delving, sowing and reaping, and, taken all round, as happy and contented as any on the face o...

Excerpt from My French Friends My English Friends have shown such a kindly interest in my French Friends, and so often ask me for news of them, not even forgetting that terrible infant the p'tit chou, that I take courage to tell a little more of the old, and add something of a few new friends My ship is again at sea. This time sailing in southern instead of northern seas, so that even that well-worn road two pairs of eyes were wont to trave...

Excerpt from My French Year In bygone days I have known and loved my French friends in the happy times of Peace - times which now seem to belong to a past as remote as the days of Greece, when the Gods dwelt on Olympus and nymphs and shepherds danced to the pipes of Pan. But the love and sympathy which had grown up with me from childhood, and which I felt, as one united by far-back ties of race and kindred, has deepened immeasurably with ever...

Excerpt from The Rising Generation Those three words affect the risen generation very variously. A large majority utter them in a tone of distinct disapproval, as if the poor things could help rising if they continue living. "One must either grow old or die, " as Monna Brigida so truly says. Others mingle the disapproval with dread. "'Tis the younger generation knocking at the door, " exclaims Ibsen's "Master Builder, " coming to claim their...

Excerpt from Felicity in France From Newhaven to Dieppe. From England to France. From the sordid ugliness and unspeakable dreariness of the English sea-coast town, to the bright, picturesque liveliness of the old French seaport. Between the two a gulf is fixed, a gulf that must be crossed on a narrow inconvenient little screw steamer which in bad weather - and no day in the year is secure against bad weather - pitches, rolls and tosses, till ...
